Books from the Backlog #115

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This meme is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books!

Asleep for a hundred years, awoken by a kiss. Aurora’s life was supposed to be a fairytale.

But since discovering that loyalty to the crown and loyalty to her country are two very different things, Aurora knows she can only dream of happily ever after. Once the enchanted princess, savior of her people, she is now branded a traitor.

Aurora is determined to free her home from the king’s tyrannical rule, even if it means traveling across the sea to the kingdom of the handsome and devious Prince Finnegan—someone who seems to know far more about her magic than he should. However, Finnegan’s kingdom has perils of its own, and any help he gives Aurora will come at a price.

As Aurora and Finnegan work together to harness her power—something so fiery and dangerous that is as likely to destroy those close to Aurora as it is to save them—she begins to unravel the mysteries surrounding the curse that was placed on her over a century before…and uncover the truth about the destiny she was always meant to fulfill.

Brimming with captivating fantasy and life-threatening danger, the sequel to A Wicked Thing takes Sleeping Beauty on an adventure unlike any she’s ever had before.

I added Rhiannon Thomas' Kingdom of Ashes to my TBR in February of 2016! This was another instance of "I'm going to wait to read this duology once I have both books in hand!" And did I? Well, since I'm featuring this here, you already know the answer! Lol. 2016...let's see, I attended my last RT the year before I believe it disbanded either this year or the next...it wasn't long after NOLA I feel like. But that's where I always got my big ol stack of books that I added to the big ol stack of books I bought or received as gifts. So yeah...things just kept piling up and this series got buried like they all do. Hopefully I can read it eventually. I have been trying to request less these days and focus on my TBR but sometimes it's hard to avoid that automatic download! Lol.
